Hi people,
I want to deactivate my bluetooth device on my mainboard when gentoo is
loaded.
I don't want to "blacklist" the driver, more I want to tell the kernel
to ignore this hardware.
Is there a way to tell "gentoo" to disable, or not load the driver for
this particular hardware based on the irq or mac address ?
What is the propper way to do this ?
best, Tamer

Not sure of a 'proper' way. I know of a physical way - in hardware where the
bluetooth has a button you can press to switch it off - typically available in
laptops. I also know of the rfkill command which comes with sys-apps/util-
linux.

Hi
The problem is that the bluetooth circuit seems to be damaged, as I have
recently the same result on Windows (not only on linux.
At Windows, I can deactivate the hardware at the "device manager", I
want this the same to be done on Linux.
Not the driver, just to ignore the hardware.
Why do I ask this ?
I ordered now a new bluetooth 5 stick, what if it uses the same driver ?
So loading the driver should not be suppressed more the hardware should
be ignored....
best, Tamer

rfkill list
rfkill block bluetooth (or bluetooth device ID)
should block individual device(s).

If the broken bluetooth device is attached via USB (turns up in
`lsusb`), you can disable it via udev:

Can't you disable the onboard bluetooth in the BIOS?
I managed to do that on my system and it's not detected during boot/use of
either OS.
